TiSe2 features a charge density wave (CDW) driven by condensation of excitons, i.e., pairs of electrons and holes, alongside electronphonon coupling. The CDW transition at 202 K gaps out most of the Fermi surface. Quantum-oscillation measurements at the HFML Nijmegen provide [...]
Analytical Research Infrastructures of Europe (ARIE) just released a joint position paper addressing potential viral and microbial threats. This way, the consortium enhances its cross-border, multidisciplinary collaboration to offer Europe a strong and valid weapon against the present COVID-19 challenge and other possible, similar future crises. The ARIEs are [...]
ARHMF 2020 and KINKEN Materials Science School 2020 for Young Scientists December 1-3, 2020 This conference is organized for scientific exchange among researchers about the current status and future prospect of researches in high magnetic fields. Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, there are various difficulties in [...]

EMFL is proud to be part of the Analytical Research Infrastructures of Europe (ARIEs) consortium. Recently, we published a joint position paper highlighting how a common, complementary approach will strengthen the European analytical research infrastructures collectively and will address societal challenges of the Horizon Europe Missions framework programme. The [...]
Matthew Bristow, Amalia Coldea, University of Oxford and William Knafo, LNCMI-Toulouse. CaKFe4As4 belongs to a new family of 1144 iron-based superconductors. It is a clean and stoichiometric superconductor with a relatively high critical temperature of 35 K. This system lacks long-range magnetic order or a nematic electronic state at [...]
S. Kasahara, Kyoto University, N. Hussey, HFML Nijmegen, and J. Wosnitza, HLD Dresden. Superconductivity is destroyed at high magnetic fields. Usually, the highest field up to which this state can exist is the Pauli paramagnetic limit, when the Zeeman energy of the itinerant electrons becomes larger than the superconducting [...]
Hans Engelkamp and Peter Christianen, HFML Nijmegen. This research shows that magnetic levitational bioassembly with a non-toxic, low concentration of a paramagnetic medium in high magnetic field is technologically feasible. Moreover, the experimental results confirm that it can be used as a cost-effective alternative to microgravity research at the [...]
Due to the outbreak of Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and the spread of related COVID-19 infections worldwide, with travel restrictions introduced by many countries, the European Magnetic Field Laboratory stopped its operational activities. Users scheduled for user operations were rescheduled to a later date.Meanwhile, signs of alleviation of the COVID-19 crisis are [...]
Alexandre Pourret, CEA Grenoble and Gabriel Seyfarth, LNCMI-Grenoble. The recently discovered heavy-fermion superconductor UTe2 with superconducting transition temperature of 1.6 K is one of the rare examples of a heavy-fermion material with superconductivity appearing above 1 K. In contrast to the ferromagnetic heavy-fermion superconductors UCoGe and URhGe, UTe2 is [...]
